Top Speeds of '08 Jet Boats

[Tom999]

Does anyone have an idea what the top speeds for the following jet boats are:
2008 200 Speedster (430 hp)
2008 205 Utopia SE (430 hp)
2008 230 Charger (430 hp)
I am trying to decide which boat to get, but I cannot get a straight answer from any of the sales people. One sales person says 65+mph, anotherone says 50mph. Found some speed test results on the net, but those were for the 330 hp version.

According to boattest.com:

Speedster 200 with 430hp - 58.7mph @ 7800rpm
230 Challenger (I don't know of any charger) with 430hp - 52mph @ 7700rpm
205 Utopia SE with 310hp (NOT THE 430) - 52.6mph @ 7400rpm

Utopia and Speedster are for previous years (2006) but haven't changed (as far as I know) so should be accurate. I would assume that the Utopia should be able to get 4-6mph faster with the twin 215s.

70 Mph.........

The U.S. Coast Guard has a mandate that no manafacturer can produce watercraft that exceeds 70 mph........that doesn't mean you can't mod it out, it only means, don't ever expect to buy one off the showroom floor and expect to go faster.........:cheers:
